Lilian Marijnissen does not feel related to André Hazes Jr., despite the fact that they have both followed in the footsteps of their famous father. “I don’t have the urge to prove that he has.”
The SP has been around for fifty years and Lilian Marijnissen celebrated that on television at the beginning of the week. However, almost no one saw that, because the performance took place in HLF8. During the broadcast, Lilian was asked, among other things, whether she feels kinship with the troubled folk singer André Hazes Jr.
“Like Andre?”
Like André, Lilian has followed in the footsteps of her famous father. Her father, Jan Marijnissen, is still alive, but no longer gives advice. “No, that has more to do with the fact that he doesn’t want to get in my way. Of course he wishes me every success and if I have any questions, I can always contact him.”
Hostess Hélène Hendriks then draws a comparison with André. “Is it so difficult… Look, we saw that in André Hazes Jr., didn’t we? He has a certain urge to prove his late father. Do you actually have that towards your father, that you have a certain urge to prove and maybe want to get better? Do you have that?”
‘No, I do not have that’
André shows in his five-part docuseries how difficult it is for everyone to compare him with his famous father. As a result, he started drinking and snorting very hard. “I think a less exciting Videoland series can be made of me than Dré junior, but no… I don’t have that,” said Lilian.
The SP is not just about her, Lilian emphasizes. “That is also that such a party is a member party, so you are with more than 30,000 members with whom you talk about points of view and where you need to go.”
spicy sneeze
Political reporter Sam Hagens handed out a spicy sneer to Lilian in the broadcast. “Just forget to say that you have lost five elections in a row. You will only be for Feyenoord and the SP; then you never win anything”, he shouted.
Lilian laughs: “You already thought of this one in advance, didn’t you!”
Jack supports Lilian
Table guest Jack van Gelder is a fan of Lilian. “I support Lilian. I just think it’s great that they still have a right to exist after fifty years; I mean that very seriously.”
He continues: “I wouldn’t vote for it, but I think it’s admirable the way she – and initially her father – has propagated the philosophy and idea of the party. All the more so because there are more and more politicians who are scheming and are not straightforward.”
